    My favorite part of the whole thing is that after KG posted an “apology”, he deleted the post and didn’t waste effort lying to try and save face with people offended by his statement. Fuck Trump, KG was right.

    Probably wasn’t the cleverest thing to say publicly, whether he meant it or not.

    Having said that it was a complete overreaction - almost like he was cancelled. Kyle is just a dude who plays the guitar. Forget about it.

    Jack Black has had a resurgence after that in movies so jot really sure he was canceled. But while filming Tenacious D hardly ever goes on tour. I get why Jack Black was afraid after Kyle said that publicly. But fuck 'em you should have kept playing.

    Metal and rock bands have always been trying to say and do provocative things because it’s part of their act. The only reason this caught on is because Trump is such a powerful media presence that anything mentioning him automatically gets attention.

    The Beatles: “we’re bigger than Jesus”

    RATM: “fuck the establishment and state tyranny”

    Twisted Sister: dress in drag and criticize the status quo

    GWAR: mock executions of state leaders

    Ozzie: bites head off a bat

    What an incendiary thing to say!

    Can someone tell me what Jack Black said? I bet it was provocative!

    Edit: Oh - Was Jack blacklisted for associating with Kyle?

    Well, I guess those boys finally fell from the political good graces they so carefully maintained for so long.

    Still, if Jack said anything rude about anyone powerful, I would like to hear it so that I can consider it in my future judgments.
